Main Task

The main task required me to research into the different kinds of music magazines on the market and to eventually produce a front cover, contents page, and double page spread for my own music magazine. I initially researched a music magazine cover and the different techniques used to produce it, I then went on to research semiotics and analyse the use of those on the cover of another music magazine. I then created a mood board, readership profile, and photography ideas page in order to have enough background knowledge of my target audience to create a strong magazine. I then did photography for the front cover, double page spread and contents page and edited the images in photoshop. I then went on to plan, draft and create my double page spread, contents page and front cover. I was then required to answer evaluative questions of my work.
